INTEBIM SECRETARY t Charles Reid. The success which has attended the establishment of the existing Insurance Companies in New Zealand ; the large and increasing field for Insurance offered by the progressive increase of buildings throughout the Colony, and shipping on the coast ; and-ihe, growing desire evinced by the public to 'support local companies, furnish sufficient proof that there is ample room for the establishment of a purely Colonial and homo, fide Company of local shareholders. The Standard Fire and Marine Insurance Company has therefore been established, and the Provisional Directors have decided that the following shall be distinctive characteristics Qf tbe Company :—: — 1. A really Colonial and National nosition, to be secured by an equitable distribution o£ the shares over the whole Colony. 2. An interested body of shareholders, to be secured by the utmost care being exercised in allQtting shares to persons kno.wn to be insurers and Itona fide traders ; and 3. Careiul and economical management. The promoters believe that an issue of 50,000 sbarts will, for some time to come, meet all the purposes of the Company ; and they purpose that of this number 30,000 shares shall be set apart for allotment over the Norrhpm Provinces. Applications for shares will be received by tbe Interim Secretar-y, at the Company's Temporary Office, Princes-street \ and deposits to be lodged at the various branches of the Bank of New Zealand throughout the colony.

BROKER I ■ J, B, Bradshaw, Ejjq., M.H.R. The richness of the auriferous deposits of the Upper Waikaia are so well known as hardly to require comment. The present Company has been formed for the purpose of developing, by improved methods and increased facilities, that valuable lead which, ! even warked under the gigantic difficulties I men without capital always encounter, has yielded fortunes to the prospectors. A large extent of valuable ground has been placed at the disposal of this Company, immediately adjoining the richest claims,* the moderate price demanded by the present holders being entirely payable in paid-up and half paid-up shaves. The e.-t' mated cost of opening these claims is £900 ; but as the tailrace will pass through auriferout ground for a considerable distance, it is confilently expected to repay the cost of its own construction-. The ground once opened up, there is a large enough area to afford profitable employment for tlie next ton years. Hitherto, the yield in the lead has averaged 100 ounces to the 12ft. x 15ft. padJock ; but as the claims offered to this Company are situated immediately below the junction of anct lcr auriferous feeder, it is generally expected this yield will be largely exceeded. The Sccrjtary and Broker shall have great pleasure in affording every information to bonafide investors. Applications for shares muab be sent in to the Bro' e_- or Secretary on or before the 20th Dcccm 1 er next, accompanied with a deposit of ss. < n every share applied for. TABU OF ApriiICATION.
